Lot more to come by the looks of it, grimy morning tomorrow perhaps have to see how quickly it clears but dry and cracked like it appears to be there'll be quite some capacity to drink it up - and we know it's dry from then until gates and past that so any that does make mud won't survive

Good point, the wind had a massive impact in 2013 for me. Rain is bad, but at least you can actually hear.

I'm pretty deaf, it's ongoing lifetime kind of deafness, not tinnitus/loud music induced kind of deafness, several operations over the years but never really done much to improve the situation long term. It's bearable but I have to concentrate pretty hard to keep up with a conversation if a noisey room

Anyway

wind can make a huge difference to outdoor stages for me. So can the spot im stood in. Near the front I generally can't hear the vocals, too far back and the bass overpowers absolutely everything, especially at the pyramid I find. I've never really liked the mix there for many bands, but my mates tell me it's one of the better ones so it's probably just my crap ears

If we are looking at 30 degrees and 2010 again, I am genuinely fearing ending up in hospital or its going to need to be a sober one over the weekend.

I am fucking fuming. Please can those temps drop a little bit?!

Edit: if Briddj prediction of 21/23 comes true, I can deal with that. 23 is a bit warmer than I'd want, but I can deal with it.

Well the forecasters seem to be right for Monday. Looking at the Glastocam it's definitely going to rain there.

 

edit; Just noticed the post literally above mine haha.

ha ha

yes it started in the night and is still going just as the BBC said. Although it is due to stop this afternoon. We will see. 

 

At present it sounds like waves every time a lorry goes past the front of the house.

It's not going to get that high, do not fear

On the way to work this morning, it was evident that quite a lot of rain had fallen during the night (big puddles at the side of road etc). It does appear to be brightening up now though.

Pretty much confirming what Alcatraz had to say.

Another improvement this morning with no rain on the Friday, Sunday has improved but still warning notes on that.

Max of 20 on Wednesday and 23 on Thursday. Home and dry with these days now.

Fri: Now pretty much zero rain hitting the site (was 12-3pm rain before). Still a bank of rain further north but not as menacing. Max temp has cranked up four degrees to 24. Don't want it any warmer than that.

Sat: Zero rain, max temps down a degree at 21.

Sun: The previous dangerous rain band for the whole passes far further north, northern Scotland. There is another band of rain which could hit Glasto around 6pm but at the moment that is hitting west Wales. High of 22 degrees remains.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
